His reputation is solidly based on works displaying mostly\u2018illusionism\u2019 \u2013 the interdependency of film and photography. Since son Menno (*1967) joined in this\u2018family business of art\u2019 as a full-fledged partner in 1989, the films became faster and more colourful. But more importantly, the focus of their artistic efforts slightly shifted from just photography and film to a combination with theatre and performance. De Nooijer consciously opted for a blend of traditional disciplines based on the ideals of the Gesamtkunstwerk and Oscar Schlemmer\u2019s interdisciplinary Bauhaus theatre. In this concept photography and film formed part of a larger, total event. De Nooijer love to pay tribute in their incredibly varied work. And they do this more often than not tongue-in-cheek. Tribute to prominent works of art history \u2013 directly (like in Birth to Michelangelo) or slightly more hidden (like in Touring Holland by Bicycle to van Gogh). Tribute to pieces of Popular Culture (Tarzan & Jane) or tribute to traditional culture (Stripshow 1850). Tribute to other film makers (e.g. Frans Zwartjes by stressing pixilation in black& white and artificially recreating time-flow) or tribute to the essence of the photographic process (I Should See; A Fortified City). Yet they always remained true to their own art as the sad but likewise funny episode with Bill Gates exposes. De Nooijer have consistently probed the visual possibilities of the photographic medium \u2013 analogue and digital \u2013 in relation to film, theatre and visual art in general. The results are always a pleasure to watch. This compilation aims to provide just this: \n Birth, The Pie, Transformation by Holding Time, Tarzan and Jane, Touring Holland By Bicycle, Black & White Bathroom, I Should See, A Fortified City, Creation, Stripshow 1850, Oer, Around Walcheren in 8000 Stills, Ukelele, In Heaven\n Language - English","videoId":6312188500112,"browse_view":"contentTypeBrowsePageIndexView","subscription":"bvl_filmmedia","title":"Dutch Masters","xml_source":"bvl_filmmedia_video-vra.xml","browse_search":"RA-Dutch","videoPoster":"https://cf-images.eu-west-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/4171818645001/3530877e-55bb-416e-b40f-a4351c2441d8/106b5b97-f465-42e5-a7ad-946d074891ed/1280x720/match/image.jpg","facets":"experimentalFilm , Experimental film , filmAwardsAndFestivals , Film awards and festivals , filmAndCinema , Film and Cinema , photography , Photography , experimental , Experimental , artsAndLiterature , Arts and literature , made_20102019 , 2010\u20132019 , made_2000Present , 2000\u2013present , english , English , origin_netherlands , Netherlands , origin_europe , Europe , video , Video ,","contenttypeorder":3,"date_of_publication":2011,"publisher":"Red Avocado Film","productname":"bvl_all","id_search":"RA-Dutch","facet":["artsAndLiterature","english","experimental","experimentalFilm","filmAndCinema","filmAwardsAndFestivals","made_2000Present","made_20102019","origin_europe","origin_netherlands","photography","video"],"contentType":"video","authors":"Paul de Nooijer~Red Avocado Film"}
